Trustee Aid

The Trustee is here to help the residents of the Washington Township in times of crisis. The Trustee does not provide any long-term support or relief.

However, if you have a sudden, unavoidable problem, we may be able to help with basic necessities of life:

• Food
• Clothing
• Shelter
• Medical
• Essential utility supplies
• Household supplies
